As part of our Language Lab studies so far this year we studied the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. The first day we read the poem and worked with the vocabulary involved. We then used the poem as a visualizing exercising with our continued study of the 7 Keys to Comprehension. I read the poem aloud to the students and then they drew a picture of what they visualized. After each student drew their picture I had them verbalize their drawing. Finally, they wrote a description of their picture and an interpretation of what they thought the roads might represent in their own life.
I am so impressed with their deep thinking in this exercise. Enjoy their wonderful work below.
The Road Not Taken
By: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Mikaylee: It represents the two paths in life and the decisions we make in life.
Meghan: He was deciding what road to take.He chose the one that didn't have as many people as the
other one does!
Erin: I think the roads are choices. Aiden chose to be kind.
While Miguel chose to be a bully.
Joe: I think the roads are represent life the first road people take get a regular job.But the author took the second road to become someone famous.
James: The road of life. Most people like to be the same I DON'T.
I think you should be yourself not somebody else.
Marie: I think the roads are like choices.
like when aiden was thinking should save the chickens or not.
